I'd love to do that, too.

I would be one who could not tell the difference between an Englishman and and Australian. I'd have to have them side by side to understand the difference.
Like Chow said, he's really good at that. I'm a little better now because I pay more attention. Sometimes he'll joke around and do a certain accent for whatever reason, and then I'll try to do it. He just howls with laughter.

They sounded like they had cotton in their mouth and their tongues just couldn't form the words. Maybe it was chew
lol Chow's dad was from Brooklyn, and his stepmom was from the South. To listen to them both talking was pretty fun. lol

Chow always tries to avoid telling me when he's throwing something out. I'm always like, "It's a shame to throw that out. I know I can do something with it." The last item in question was a big piece of poster board.

There's always a lot of talk in some of the threads about how some people don't like perfume/cologne, or are allergic, or hate how people use too much, etc. It's funny, but I rarely notice people wearing it anymore, or at least being drenched in it.

Our next door neighbor drowns herself in whatever it is, Mrs. Chow forgot to mention her as this neighbor is a bit of a shut-in type.

She douses herself VERY liberally with whatever potion it happens to be because I can smell where she's been in the condo complex, whether it's the elevators or the parking structure.

It's some nasty old lady smelling crapola too. LOL. Sorry to be harsh, but man, it's aggravating at times.

When I was a kid I worked at a hardware store and was a cashier at one point and they used to have us in a booth type thing, it was usually two people and I used to get stuck with this girl that used to drown herself in that perfume from the late 80's, Poison.

It was friggin poison alright, about passed out every time I got stuck in that booth with her. LOL

I like to wear scented lotion, too. It seems to last longer on me than perfume does.

I miss some of the old-school perfumes. The other day I ordered some Jovan Musk oil off of Amazon, but it will not get here until Tuesday. I guess it's not enough for me just to listen to 80s music all the time. I want to smell like the 80s too.

There are a couple of women at work like that.

I wear it very sparingly and very infrequently. IMHO, if you have to put a gallon on, you probably just need a shower.

The neighbor lady is nice enough, when we had our cat we'd let him play in the courtyard area and we'd be out there with him and she'd come out and chat with us once in a while. She's a cat owner so we'd talk about the kitties or whatever. It was nice because even though she seems a bit like a shut-in she was always up on the latest and greatest goings on with our condo community. She's part of the HOA board so I figure that's probably how she's up to speed. It was just odd because she'd always fill us in on the latest gossip, LOL, not that were into that, but it was just sorta funny.

Apparently there is a woman that lives on the 3rd floor and she's, let's just say a friendly gal, she's referred to as the "wh7re on the third floor." Funny as I wouldn't noticed or paid any attention.

She also likes to prop open her door slightly so that her cat can come and go and sometimes on the wind I can smell her perfume mixed in with the litter box that is overdue for a cleaning.

IDK, we kept up on our litter box and the house as far as I can tell never smelled, I would always do a smell check upon entry to our place.

This lady's place, IDK, definitely needs to stay on top of that kitty box. Whew... sorta bad if you can sometimes smell it out in the courtyard of our place.

I still find the concept of a litter box funny. Can you imagine if we did that ourselves? That would never happen, but it's okay to let theirs languish around in the box, stinking up the house. lol Every time our cat would go, I'd scoop it the blank out of there. I also feel sorry for the cats having to dig around in that.

I think people get nose blind to their perfume/cologne, so they keep putting on more so they smell it not realizing that everyone else smells it just fine. One of my coworkers has regular meetings with my office mate, and you can smell that she's been there for hours afterward. And they never douse themselves in something I might not mind smelling, like Chanel No. 5.
